Abstract
Dental implants are required to have biomechanical functions and biostability in order to perform authoring, pronunciation, and aesthetic functions in the oral cavity. In terms of biostability, pure titanium for medical have good biostability and no rejection in the alveolar bone. with appropriate strength in terms of strength as well as biocompatibility. In recent years, various surgical methods and devices have been developed to improve the convenience and safety of the procedure. However, as the number of procedures increases, the screw loosening of the abutment screw connecting the artificial root and the abutment There are many reports of artificial root and abutment fracture. Fig. 1 is an example of a case where the upper part of the abutment screw is arbitrarily modified to remove the abutment by the abutment fracture due to the loosening of the abutment screw. The fundamental cause of abduction of the abutment screw is caused by the slight movement due to the lowering of the retention force of the abutment screw. It is necessary to minimize loosening of the abutment screw to avoid problems such as fracture during the period of using the implant. The purpose of this study is to investigate the structure of the abutment screw to prevent the loosening of the abutment screw by forming 0.5mm slot.
